Gail said she and Gary discussed the idea of a memorial statue before he died. He wanted to be cremated. She suggested erecting a statue in Library Park, where he often spent hours reading and writing.In all seriousness, I think they should make it 9 feet tall and 2000 pounds, or even shoot for 18 feet tall and 32,000 pounds. A fitting - and formidable - tribute.
"He loved that idea," she said.
Gail is working with a local attorney to form a corporation to begin raising money for the project. She also is planning a fundraiser to be held during Gen Con in 2010.
At that time, some of her husband's personal items, including original manuscripts, will be auctioned off.
She said big names in the gaming, computer and film industries already have contacted her with interest in supporting the project.
